Arkansas State hires Bryan Harsin

Bryan Harsin. I think he is a good hire. He would have been my choice if HUD left. Any thoughts?

Good hire, can he recruit?

Arkansas State has been the most aggressive school in the belt in terms of pay for new coaches which is why they've landed Freeze, Malzahn and now Harsin. I applaud them for that as that is the only way you are going to get a quality coach at this level unless you just get lucky

From what I hear, they are also being very aggressive in trying to get into CUSA or the MWC. I wonder how much that plays into getting this coach to leave Texas.

Was his salary reported?

Harsin will get $700K per year. That's third in the Sun Belt behind Petrino ($850K) and Hud ($803K).

Behind the scenes type aggressive?

Nobody is more aggressive behind the curtains than our own Wizard of Martin Hall.

Thanks for the visual..."I am the mighty OZ...", complete with all the levers being pulled....

The only problem is that he is clueless on which levers to push and which ones to pull.

He's definitely behind the curtain pulling on something, unfortunately it has nothing to do with athletics
